Biologists have uncovered a new mode of communication inside cells that helps bacterial pathogens learn how to evade drugs.

Antibiotic resistance is often framed as a hospital problem, but a growing body of evidence shows that the environment plays ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...

Researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), have uncovered how a ...

Scientists have identified essential genetic code for a method called plasmid curing, which aims to 'displace' antibiotic resistance genes from bacteria. Birmingham scientists have identified ...

Given the growing antibiotic resistance crisis, novel ways to target bacterial infections are becoming increasingly important. One potential strategy is to manipulate bacterial genes at the ...

New research shows that the gene PTPN2 helps regulate gut bacteria and plays a key role in protecting the body from excessive inflammation. Scientists at the, Riverside, are uncovering how a single ge ...

Bacteria in the human gut can directly deliver proteins into human cells, actively shaping immune responses. A consortium led by researchers at Helmholtz Munich, with participation from Ludwig ...
